 RADOSŁAW NOWAKOWSKI digital harpsichord, bzyk łysogórski recorded in April and May 2025 at home on Tascam DR-07X imagined, performed, produced, designed, written, printed, bound by R.N. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXnQ0hRZHyg According to the title A slightly symmetric music is not symmetric as a whole. The individual pieces are not symmetric, either. Neither each one within itself, nor one to another. Sometimes they try to be so, but they succeed rarely. Whereas the applied scales are symmetrical, however visually, as if geometrically – their symmetry is based on the distances between the keys in the keyboard, not on the intervals. Bzyk łysogórski is kind of clavichord. It has two strings and symmetric keyboard, but no soundbox: the highest sounds are in the centre and then the pitch goes down in both left and right direction. There are thirty four keys, seventeen keys on each side; this number is accidental, there was no room for more keys, the intervals between the sounds are accidental, too. This instrument, a prototype which exists only in one copy, has been built by a good friend of mine, a neighbour from beyond the hill, Tomasz Rozborski. |
